In botany the fruit of citrus fruits is called hesperidium. The shape varies from rounded, sometimes flattened at the poles, to an elongated and pointed ovoid.. The peel is made up of a rough outer layer, rarely smooth, colored from yellow to orange to red, and a white and spongy inner layer called albedo which can be more or less thick.. In the fresh state, the peel is usually not eaten with the fruit, but it is edible, so it is widely used in cooking. (in this use either the whole peel or the rind is used). In addition, it is of considerable importance in the industrial exploitation of citrus fruits.. The peeled fruit is made up of segments, each wrapped in its own membrane to protect a set of very juicy thread-like particles.. The seeds are housed inside the segments and are very leathery. Since they are not edible in any way, seedless varieties of citrus fruits are preferably produced. All citrus fruits are rich in vitamins, especially those of groups C and P.. They are mainly consumed fresh or in preparations such as jams, candied fruit, drinks. They are very important for the extraction of essential oils, pectins, citric acid and other derivatives. CrossbreedingThe possibilities of hybridization of citrus fruits are very high. Most of the genera and practically all the known species are in fact the results of fortunate hybridizations which have maintained their initial properties over time.. All citrus fruits except mandarin, pomelo and citron are ancient hybrids.. Crosses between mandarin and various types of orange, from the mandarin orange to the clementine and the tangerine, have been particularly successful. Among the crosses on the market we can mention the mapo, the lipo, the lice, the pompìa, the limo, the oroblanco, the tacle and other products of considerable interest but with uncertain possibility of constant development.
The term citrus refers to cultivated plants belonging to the Citrus genus of the Aurantioideae subfamily (Rutaceae family) and their fruits. The subfamily includes defined and stable species, but also many varieties and natural mutations, in the inflorescence as well as in the fruits, so that various types of citrus fruits are found in various parts of the world.. In addition, numerous hybrids have been developed, some of which have non-durable characteristics, which means they are only on the market for relatively short periods of time. The genealogy of citrus fruits has always been the subject of study.. The recent sequencing of the genome of some species has allowed us to reconstruct the complex kinship relationships that have given rise, through hybridization, to all the other varieties.. It has emerged that almost all citrus fruits are the result of crossbreeding between just three species.: the cedar, the mandarin and the pomelo.

In botany, the citrus fruit is called a hesperidium. Its shape varies from round, sometimes flattened at the ends, to an elongated and pointed ovoid. The peel consists of a rough, rarely smooth, outer layer, ranging in color from yellow to orange to red, and a white, spongy inner layer called the pith, which can be more or less thick. When fresh, the peel is usually not eaten with the fruit, but it is edible, so it is widely used in cooking (either the entire peel or the rind). It is also of considerable importance in the industrial exploitation of citrus fruits. The peeled fruit consists of segments, each wrapped in its own membrane, protecting a collection of very juicy threadlike particles. The seeds are housed inside the segments and are very tough. Since they are inedible, seedless citrus varieties are preferred. All citrus fruits are rich in vitamins, especially those of groups C and P. They are mainly consumed fresh or in preparations such as jams, candied fruit, and beverages. They are very important for the extraction of essential oils, pectins, citric acid, and other derivatives. Crossbreeding: The potential for hybridization of citrus fruits is extremely high. Most genera and virtually all known species are the result of successful hybridizations that have retained their initial properties over time. All citrus fruits except mandarins, pomelos, and citrons are ancient hybrids. Crosses between mandarins and various types of oranges, from the mandarin orange to the clementine and the tangerine, have been particularly successful. Among the crosses on the market are the mapo, lipo, lice, pompìa, limo, oroblanco, tacle, and other products of considerable interest but with uncertain prospects for continued development.
